@lembitopik That would genuinely be entertaining. A man with a degree in philosophy who couldn't complete a degree in aeronautical engineering (or even economics), debating climate experts from one of the top ten universities in the world.

Climate “experts” at Imperial College, London, say man-made global warming just killed 1,134 people in England & Wales. I studied their “research.” Scientifically, it seems to be rubbish. I invite them to debate me on TV to defend what looks like total nonsense

@darrengrimes It's a good job some random crypto billionaire stepped in and helped out with a £5 million "donation" for Nige's security. I'm sure we'll all sleep a lot sounder knowing this. 🤦‍♂️🤡

Robert Jenrick is spot on here. Stripping Nigel Farage of his security was a completely stupid, vindictive move from a Home Office steeped in lefty bias. The establishment despises Nigel so much they’re perfectly happy to leave him and his family exposed to danger. It’s a pathetic, partisan game.

@DaviniaAli75341 @TheBeanEyesOpen Under Section 1 of the Prevention of Crime Act 1953, carrying an "offensive weapon" is a serious criminal offence. What you describe is a category 3 offensive weapon, which is any ordinary, legal item if the person carrying it intends to use it to cause injury.

@TheBeanEyesOpen Today I gave my mum a Deep Heat type spray in case her knee hurts when she walks. I also warned her not to get it in her eyes because it's AGONY and temporarily disabling. It is legal to carry though.

I live in a TINY village in sunny Somerset. My friend, who also lives in the same village, told me this morning that 3 African black men have been moved into the village. I’ve got a feeling they’re neither doctors nor engineers. I’m now going to have to go out in the evening to walk my daughter back from work at the other end of the village, because I have to. I’m not risking it. I’m mum. I shouldn’t be having to do this in a quiet, little place like ours. Fuck it. None of us should be having to do this. When is it enough?

@RossKempsell Once you have this knowledge, you will be in a position to realise the obvious choice is to vote Count Binface.

You're a voter in Clacton on 13 August. Your choice is Reform, or a man dressed as a bin. The established parties didn't bother to send you a candidate. You feel like they care about you so little they literally sent you a bloke dressed as a bin. That's all you need to know

There is no way Haytor Vale was chosen at random, it is an obscure tiny village located near Haytor Rocks on Dartmoor. If you didn't know the area you would need google maps, especially if you had special needs. This location was specifically targeted, which suggests the murder victim, Ann Widdecombe, was also targeted, therefore there was a very specific motive. As the target was a political figure, the motivation must have also been political. You don't need to be a police detective to understand this. Unless you work for Devon and Conwall Police of course.

@IsabelOakeshott Quick! Isabel Oakeshott, who has the square root of zero experience in murder investigations (and has no access to any information), thinks this inquiry feels a bit off. Surely the police will take action immediately. 🤡

IF the police have good reason for not releasing the CCTV, they should make that clear. More than 3 days since Ann was murdered, the killer is still at large. Something about the inquiry is beginning to feel a bit off.

@sarah__british You're absolutely spot on, Sarah Let's stop calling him Bin Face (although it appears to only be you who is doing that). His name is Count Binface.

Let's stop calling him Bin Face. His real name is Johnathan Harvey, an odious left wing champagne socialist with an Oxford degree. He is a complete wanker who only stands against right wing politicians. We all know the "refugees welcome" type.

@Bim416217992865 @RasmusJarlov @e_jokkonen Some great replies to this post. I’ll just point out that an inch (as a unit of length, not area as you erroneously assert) can quite legitimately be used to measure thickness. In your case, it will require many, many inches to quantify how thick you are.

We dont care. These threats do not work anymore. You can pull your troops out or you can let them stay. It is not going to have any influence on the fact that we are not giving you one square centimeter of Greenland.
Acyn@Acyn

Reporter: Are you going to pull more troops out of Europe? Trump: I haven’t made that final determination. A lot is going to depend on Greenland. We’re going to make a very good deal on Greenland and if we don’t, maybe I will.

I do not think it is healthy for our political establishment to get together and effectively prevent the people of Clacton having any real choice other than a con-artist or a clown for their MP. Remember : the people of Clacton will have no real voice in parliament for 3 years if they are compelled to elect a joke candidate as their only alternative. Long after people have enjoyed the laugh at a “funny result”, the people of Clacton have to live with the outcome. If Clacton democratically chooses that outcome then great, but it is not morally correct to FORCE a constituency to vote for a limited range of options just because it provides the rest of us with entertainment. I am very pleased the Rejoin EU Party is not going to be a part of this cosy consensus, and WILL be standing a candidate in #Clacton

@TransChicken2 It's fascinating that people like you are more than happy to use the internet to post speculative nonsense like this. Yet you are quite unable to use the internet to answer your own question. Try Google AI mode.

How does Mr Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma, a Zimbabwean immigrant, who killed his wife and kids and then fled abroad, get to afford a house like this? Maybe he won the lottery? Or is very good at poker... or he has a string of vape shops?

@spectator You don't really understand democracy, do you? If a party chooses not to stand in an election, that is exercising their democratic right. Should the main parties be forced, in some way, to field a candidate? How is that in any way democratic?

It looks like it will be Nige vs Count Binface, to the childish glee of every Radio 4 comedian and Remoaner on the internet. Well, I'm not laughing. I think the parties are behaving abominably. Their choreographed retreat smacks of moral cowardice. This is a collective abdication of the first duty of a party, which is to contest elections, to disseminate ideas, to try to win the hearts of voters. The parties think they're getting one over on Farage but in truth they are grossly insulting the good people of Clacton, whose views and votes they clearly couldn't give a toss about. They are cruelly depriving these working-class seasiders of choice. It is obscene. ✍️ Brendan O’Neill Article | spectator.com/article/nigel-… | @spikedonline

@BenGrahamUK So, essentially, you're saying that all politicians should be exempt from investigation for any wrongdoing based on the assumption that it might "damage" their reputation. Do you know how idiotic that sounds?

This is a dangerous moment for our democracy. The use of investigations and legal processes to try and damage political opponents, such as Nigel Farage and Robert Jenrick, looks like state sponsored lawfare. The attacks on Reform UK are coming from every direction. But I suspect the opposite effect will happen: the more people see attempts to silence or undermine Reform, the more support they will gain. The British public are watching.
